About the VITAlity Festival

In August 2020, our Co-Founders Tanya Levy & Vikki Friedman had a completely audacious & ambitious idea. To bring the world’s most forward-thinking health & wellness experts together to support stressed, confused and lonely frontline workers—in the 9-day virtual VITAlity Festival.

Think Covid Cool-Aid, only virtual (and without the drama and stress of long, exhausting shift work).

With increasing numbers of frontline workers battling with isolation, depression, anxiety, uncertainty & stress thanks to COVID-19…

This festival is a place where our forgotten community heroes can engage with experts around the world and be inspired, nurtured and empowered during this challenging time.

What People Say About the VITAlity Festival...

A Message from Josh Frydenberg - MP & Treasurer of Australia

A Message from Dr Emma O'Brien PhD OAM, Head of RMH Music Therapy & RMH Scrub Choir

“Taking time out to rejuvenate, to let go, and to self nurture has never been so important. We have all had a roller-coaster ride in healthcare and even the smallest moments of relief can help us through.

RMH Scrub Choir is all about those small moments of joy to sustain us; and about the power of music to support and connect us. I’m looking forward to connecting with my RMH music therapy team and taking some much needed time to refresh.”
